FRUIT SHIPPING The officers of the
California Fruit Union have had several
conferences with the railroad officials con-
corning rates for the present seasons crop,
but thus far no definite determination has
been reached. There was a disposition
and intimation on the part of the railroad
companies to make even lower and more
advantageous rates for the present season
than last, but the demoralizing effects and
uncertainty of construction of the inter-
state commerce law has thus far compelled
delay in fixing the tariff schedule on this
important class of our products The first
train load last year was forwarded in June,
and no doubt before the coming June the
operations of the interstate law will have
become sufficiently known to warrant rates
being definitely fixed and announced.

hitch.d to her spine rs big as dog

ing cotton "oombrir' in one hand,
and yellow leather bag rs big as an

looking for the cold wave flag arrested
her attention. and just as she lifted
her eyes and head in the direction of
where the flag should have been. there
was yell and something dropped.
1t WAS the old lady, and what a fall
was there my countrywOmen. She
sat down SO quick and hard that her
bonnet strings cracked like a pair Of

Of their sockets like the pins on hat

DR.. \. BrOndel writes, in the Bulletin
General Therapeutique. Of November
Is, 1886, concerning the treatment
of diptheria by benzOate of sodium
and asserts that of two hundred con-
s.rutive cases he has not lost u single
one. lie admits the possibility Of II
mistaken diagnosis in some inst ances,
but, even excluding fifty per cent on
this account, he still has one hundred
case. without "a death. His met nod Is
as follows: Every hour tine patient
takes u Tablespoonful Of n solution OF
benzOate Of sodium, fifteen grains to
the ounce, and at the same time one
sixth Of n grain of stlphide OF calcium
in syrup or granule. & In addition to
this the throat is thoroughly sprayed
every half hour with a ten lNr cent
solution of benzoate of sodium. This
il done religiously at regular intervals,
day and night, but no other local
treatment is employed. No attempt
is made TO dislodge the false menu
brane, and no lpem.illing nor painting
of the falhes il resOrted to. TONES
are given and antipyretMs are used
when OCCASION calls for them. The
nOurishn,ent consists Of beef juice, TEN
der, rare meat, milk, etc., but bread
and all other articles which may cause
irritatiO of the throat are forbidden.
The sick room is kept filed with
steam from n vessel containing car
bolic acid, turpentine, and oil Of euca-
lyptus in water.
The employment vi be,.zoste Of so
dunn is not new irpethOtl in the
treatment of dipthetia, for it has
been tried and is recommended highly
by l.etzericO, KEN, Ferreol, and 9TH
ers. But this, Of course, speaks sd
much the more strongly in favor Of
the remedy, and az DIR. Brondel's re-
suits were better than those obtained
by others using the same drug, it is to
be presumed that his method OF EN-
ployins it is the best.-Medical Record.

Trapping deer by means OF SHARES,

and Northwest notably 80 in the
British Possessions. When the hunter
finds deer-run or crossing, he selects
u strong sapling standing in n position
which admits vi IT'S being bent over
till it almost touches the ground. The
end OF a rawhide rope is then fastened
to the tree near its top, and the middle
OF the rope is attached to n 4-shaped
tri2er. The loose end OF the rope
forms a running moose which is laid
across the rum: the bait, consisting Of
a handful Of fresh hay. or few leaves
upon which salt is thrown, is placed
upon the spindle Of the trigger. The
latter projects half way across the
run, and when the deer touches the
spindle to take the bait, the trigger

P.M:aboe d m Seasons.

Eggs are higher in winter because
the cost Of production is greater at
that season; but though eggs may he
lower in price during the summer. yet
they give a profit, unless selling
at point too far distant from
market to allow of favorable OppOr-
tunities in prices. But in summer the
are more favorable. and
the number of eggs secured are greater.
The fowls require less attention, can
pick up a portion Of their food, while
that which may be fed them il pro-
cured ut less expense. Re the advan-
tages what they may, mt any season
the year, it requires but few
moments consideration on the part
Of the farmer to be convinced
that eggs bring better prices, compared
with the cost OF production, than any
other articles on the farm, especially
IL this the case when it is considered
that while the hens may be fed liber-
ally, yet the labor bestowed on them,
compared with other stock, is very
slight, and for that reason they are
always profitable.

press train that left Boston at Z last
night met with terrible accident lear
Woodstock on the Central Vermont
railroad at about 2:3O o'clock this
morning. The train started from this
city on time but was detained ut White
River Junction, so it was about an
hour and n half late when it left there.
II consisted OF u locomotive, baggage
car. postal ear, two passenger touches
and two sleeping cars, aud was run
ming at the usual rate of speed When
about 2tM yards from the south end
OF the sleck Of the bridge near the old
Windsor station, n broken rail was
struck. the locomotive, baggage and
cars postal broke away from the rest
of the train, passing over the bridge
in safety; the rest of the train was
thrown from the rails and continued
ON the rOadbetl until it came near the
end OF the bri,lgt. but there it ran over
the abitment and all of the cars fell
into the White river, some fifty feet
below. The gorge at this point is
frightful, and when the cars went
down there was terrible crash. As
soon rs possible the detached part Of
the train WAS stopped and run back
to the scene Of the disaster. The
screams OF the injuresl were heart
rending. Assistance also came from
the people living in the vicinity, and
relieve the injured. Soon after help
had started in the first passenger
coach, and soon the ent ire train was
ablaze. This added u new horror to
the already frightful catastrophy.
Those present were pOwerless to stop
the lire and devoted themselves entirely
to attempting to rescue those inpris-
Oned in the wreck. The rescuers met
another and unexpected obstacle in
heat, which had become so intense
that they were Obliged to relinquisl
their efforts to save the sufferers and
were compelled to retreat to a place
Of safety for themselves and to become
unwilling and hOrrOr-stricken witness
ses Of the awful holocaust. In addi-
ton to this and to add to the horrors
and suffering Of the passengers the
weather was extremely cold the heroic
rescuers were hindered thereby in their
work. No water could be obtained
with which to cheek or exting,,isli the
flames as the ice was several inches
thick on the river aud there were no
appliances ON hand to raise it.
Twenty-six persons. sd far as is
known, were taken out alive from,
the cars which were burl,ssl. Two Of
these are understood to liz Mr.. Wes-
son, the pistol manufacturer of Spring
field, and Ell. BrOckellnal,ks, brake
man, but they died soon after. The
two passenger coaches were well tillesl
